The Third God

In the aftermath of the massacre of the tribes of Earthsky, Carnelian - estranged son of the Ruling Lord Suth - is appalled by what he's witnessed and desperate to avoid further carnage. But it seems it is too late for that. For the mind and body of the one he once loved - Osidian, God Emperor elect - has been ravaged by the dark god of the Marula and now he craves revenge against those who seized his throne. War is inevitable. Carnelian understands that he and those dear to him are now caught in a deadly power game. To survive they have no choice but to stand alongside Osidian in defiance of the Masters, who have ruled the Commonwealth for millennia. But ultimately, it is Carnelian who will unleash an apocalypse and bring about a terrible reckoning none could have foreseen, though it has been simmering for four thousand years... The Third God brings to a cataclysmic conclusion one of the outstanding fantasy trilogies of the past twenty years, and confirms its author as one of genre fiction's most original and literate imaginations.
